There was no distress call given before the crash, but the recorder indicated that there was a "stick shaker activation" four seconds before the crash, indicating the plane was about to stall, National Transportation Safety Board Chairman Deborah Hersman said in a Sunday news conference.Seven seconds before the crash, there was a call by one of the crew members to increase speed. The target speed for an approach is 137 knots, and the speed of Flight 214 was "much lower, and not by a few knots, Hersman said. |
